I have the same problem as others. I have no text on my buttons, and I get an error in the terminal,
** WARNING **: Failed to open font: "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-10-*".
when I type,
~$ echo $locale
I just get a blank line. I think that I have my locale set to en-GB?

I tried the language hacks. Both LANG=C and LANG=C LC_MESSAGES=C put before xmms on the command line cause the error to become more verbose:

The font "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-10-*" does not support all the required character sets for the current locale "C"
(Missing character set "ISO8859-1")

** WARNING **: Failed to open font: "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-10-*".
